besieging tie members, and between
these and the senatorial contest the
weather IN January has been pretty warm
around that capital. Tennessee gave her
library in charge of Mrs. Sue Lowe OF
Robertson county, but so spirited was
the struggle that an effort will be made
to have this office in future filed by ap-
pointment of the governor. Women are
troublesome factors in the body polite,
and will be until they can vote; then
they will have clerkships promised them
by aspiring candidates, just like men land

see no hope in world which fifty years
ago was full OF bright promise, the other
full, not of sad experience but OF
youthful enthusiasm, guided and re-
strained by the wisdom of years, looks
out upon world going forward to bet

hopeful vision, nor hopelessness stays his
hand, and practical in that as in all things,
he arrays facts against assumed
premises, and proves that the human
race has not refrigerated. Ia the opening
article of the January num1er of The
Nineteenth Century, Gladstone makes a
judicial summing up of the past half
century, and iustifes by the contrast
with fifty years ago the title that
this year claims of being EngIand's
jubilee. An old sge that can thus
review the worlds acts, comes
only of right living and healthy
mental organism, and both pessimist
ard optimist must agree that such an
ending of life-work is far more enviable
than the possession of that kind of "wis-
dom" attained by the author Of the New

the living, glowing world of to-day is

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, has been of phe-
nomenal growth, and. the industrial de-
velopment marvellous. The attention of
the citizens does not seem to be wholly
absorbed in money getting, as they have
time to spare for the consideration of
questions involving the real prosperity of
the town, and do not propose to have
saloons the controlling element in munich
pal affairs. They have so fixed by law
the license of saloons as to practically
place the control of the liquor traffic in
the hands of responsible business men as
the license is $3.50 and the state tax $500.
This puts it beyond the reach OF those
who are pecuniarily irresponsible parties.

In the Norfolk Landmark of recent date
l read the following:
"The Hampton Monitor learns that
Col. John B. Grey, now superintendent
OF public SCHOOLS in Richmond, desires, at
an early date, to assemble as many of the
sold Boys of Hampton Academy as he can
gather in that venerable town. We are
glad TO hear this, and have no doubt that
the attempt will prove q success. At the
last celebration of the Society of the Old
Boys, Gordon McCabe, the distinguished
scholar, recIted a poem, and eX President
Tyler, an honorary member, and Mir James
Barron Hope delivered addresses. EX-
President Tyler, Judge Scarburgh and
many other distinguished gentlemen were
present, and the '0ld Boys who remain
will rally round the standard of their
famous school when unfolded by the
hands of its beloved master"
Your correspondent is in possession Of

and when wintry age retains the sum-

mellowness of that heart which has SO

one the times are out of joint, while with
the other flowers bloom, birds sing, and

Tho Greer County Land Grab.


HICo. TEX, Jan. 10, 1857.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
l see some people are greatly exercised
about the Greer county land grab. l
happen to know something of the loca-
tions there. 1t is true Maddox Bros.
& Anderson have quite q large block of
land, something over 20 900 acres, but it
is on the most broken part of the county.
1t is good grass land and well watered
but very little of 1t, not 10 per cent,
arabic. John NJ. SwiSher also has quite
q body of land, nearly $4,000 acres, which
is three-fourths agricultural. Those are
the only large blocks of land located in
the county. The other locations, which
number over leo, are owned nearly
altogether by individuals, to whom the
scrip was originally issued, and
but for frightening this Article l
could name most of them. How
ard & Sweet have located nearly a
hundred of them, some for cash consld-
Grafton and balance, or larger number,
for locative interest of generally one
third of the land, and this same Capt. FL.
c. Sweet has been in Greer county hold
ing in person for the state for nearly
three years, while he was st work there
two years before his residence. He it
was who was ordered out by the military
and would not go, but appealed to Gov.
Ireland 70 help hold the county, and
through him got the order revoked. He
has spent his all there trying to assist
some OF the poorest and most needy of
Texas citizens, and yet the cry is, "Out
with the spectators" This cry ought to
have been raised just before 100000
acres of fine land was given in order to
help one of the great monopolies of the
land, to-wit: The Capitol Syndicate. Let
US look at both sides. Ii. o. WARD.

THE nomination of Judge Manning by
Mr.. Cleveland settles the question OF the
Mexican ministry. As there is, however,
no expression of opinion as TO whether it
was pneumonia or mescsl that so lately
afflicted Manning, the public are left in
doubt. In either case, it is better to have
a man there who has passed through &C
climation in both ozone and mescal, as
he is less liable to second attack.

TAHLEQUAH, l. T., Jan. 16.-A large
panther has been seen time and again in
the Illinois river bottom, about five
miles from this place. There was a man
here from that neig hborhood yesterday,
telling how near it came catching him
while going through the bottom, and was
scared yet, SO he told us, and his looks
showed it. Many sheep, hogs and calves
have been devoured by this animal dur
ing the last year. As it's haunts have
been pretty nearly located, it is safe to
say its days are numbered now.

A NEW YORK poet once called upon
patriots to strike for their affairs and their
fires. Could his ghost revisit the earth,
he would see those who claim all thst
patriots ever did, striking TO put out the
fires OF their fellowmen. The city of New
York is on the verge of coal famine, and
Will the rich have no abatement of their
comfort, the poor, who buy their coal by
the basket, sit shivering in their miser-
able homes, prey to hunger and its most
fearful accompaniment, cold. In these
strikes it is certainly true that women
must weep, although the men are not
under the same necessity to work, and if
the labor organizations throughout the
country could devise some plan of ad-
justment of differences without entailing
SO much misery on the helpless, the work
would certainly be more philanthropic.
